Morals and Dogma

Ora, lege, lege, lege, relege, et invenies.
Dormiens vigila. (While asleep, stay awake)

Keep symbols as is

The alteration from symbol to dogma is fatal to beauty of expression, and leads to intolerance and assumed infallibility.

( Morals and Dogma 3º

Teacher

Nature is the great Teacher of man; for it is the Revelation of God.

( Morals and Dogma

Lord, give me a sign

The most abstract expression for DEITY, which language can supply, is but a sign or symbol for an object beyond our comprehension.

( Morals and Dogma 3º

Religious expression

All religious expression is symbolism; since we can describe only what we see, and the true objects of religion are THE SEEN.

(Morals and Dogma, 3º - Master)

Forget it, Please
A people, as well as the sages, must learn to forget.

If it neither learns the new nor forgets the old, it is fated, even if it has been royal for thirty generations.

( Morals and Dogma P. 92 )

Central government?

The central power may not be able to suggest the best scientific solution of a problem; but it has the easiest means of carrying an idea into effect.

( Morals and Dogma P. 98)
